Women's Health

What is women’s health?

Women’s health focuses on women and their distinct needs that differ from men’s health needs. Many conditions exclusively affect women, and others affect them at higher rates.

The Temecula Medical Group helps you keep up with the medical care you need when you need it, including primary and preventive care. The team welcomes you in for regular visits where you can go over your sexual, reproductive, and hormonal health in a safe and confidential setting.

The team also educates you on your overall health and promotes practices that keep you healthy in the long term. You can lower some disease risks by taking advantage of preventive women’s health care and making some simple adjustments in your daily routine.

Which conditions affect women’s health?

Women’s health often focuses most on breast health, sexual and reproductive health, and hormones. Many conditions can affect these systems and their processes within your body, which the Temecula Medical Group team can evaluate and diagnose. They are happy to be your primary care providers by managing women’s health conditions that include:

• Abnormal menstruation
• Endometriosis
• Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)
• Uterine fibroids
• Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs)
• Vaginal dryness
• Urinary tract infections (UTIs)
• Urinary incontinence
• Osteoporosis
• Breast lumps and cancer
• Reproductive cancers

Some conditions affect both men and women but are either more common in women or affect them in distinct ways.  Some conditions may require referral to the proper medical specialist.  Whether you get a diagnosis or what that diagnosis is, the Temecula Medical Group offers advanced diagnostic services and treatments to help you manage or improve your health.
